my mt4 platform doesn't just have currencies but also
XAUUSD (ie gold)
various indicies e.g. UK100
sugar
cocoa
USDX
other...
now, are all of the above futures contracts?? (if so, i take it mt4 is connecting to various futures exchanges, most likely in the US) . the last one -USDX - was under a 'futures' menu while the others weren't specified as futures, but maybe they still are. i don't know. just trying to make sense of WHAT IT IS. it would be great later on after mastering currency (4h frame) to be able to do similar trades/setups in the above instruments as well (more opportunities). although may not be possible for a 25k account (1% risk = $250). don't know.
